St Stephen's Catacombs, Vienna
Last Updated: 6th Jun 2012

Deep in the foundations of Vienna’s St. Stephansondom Cathedral lurks the catacombs…
Along side the coffins and tombs of cardinals and royalty, there also lies cavernous vaults of bones stacked up various rooms of 10,000+ people. During the Black Plague, many victims were tossed in the mass graves found below the cathedral. If the seeing many rooms stacked from floor to ceiling with bones or viewing them thru a grated floor piques your curiosity, then hike over to the cathedral and take the guided tour. Definitely a very intriguing experience to peer into the past.

The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
I've found from experience the best and most reliable brand of adaptors for Australian travellers is Korjo. Check out www.korjo.com
For ladies I would definitely recommend finding some slightly nicer than normal black flats... I bought some in Prague for super cheap and still wear them all the time!
